The benefits of face-to-face training
During the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning developed and became normality. All individuals learn differently and work more productively in different environments however, face-to-face training has predominately been known to have the following strong benefits:
Encourages and grows social skills and collaborative learning
Humans are social creatures. Socialising makes us feel a sense of belonging and security which increases our overall mental wellbeing. Face-to-face training gives individuals the opportunity to enter a room with other students and have that social interaction. Studying from home for some people means sitting in a house on their own which can be detrimental to their mental health. Face-to-face learning teaches students how to work in a team environment and prepares them for when they enter the workplace with other staff members. With classroom learning, students don’t only learn from the theory the teacher is presenting. They learn from other students’ questions and past experiences.
Stronger confidence in the use of equipment
With face-to-face training, there's generally a practical component with sessions. This is to assist the staff member with experiencing what they will use in the real world with clients. To be able to utilise practical equipment correctly, with face-to-face training, they can not only confidently play and experiment with practical equipment, they can ask the trainer questions that they may only encounter while using the equipment.
Real-time interaction
The whole point of studying is to learn things that you don’t already know. So, it’s only human that you are going to have questions and will require help with various elements of your study. Face-to-face training will ensure that you can receive help at the exact moment you need it. Whilst online learning still involves help through video lessons and email, face-to-face learning means you get the help and explanation at the exact moment you need it.
Lack of distraction
Whilst some individuals feel like they are more productive working from home, many find their home a massive distraction. Home comforts such as Netflix or naps can become too much of a temptation and there’s the distracted need to attend to household chores. We have delivered training from many respite houses over the years and staff have proven to concentrate better when being in an educational environment with minimal distractions.
Encourages critical thinking
Being in a classroom with other students encourages individuals to engage in live discussions and relevant deliberations. This type of learning environment gives students other people to bounce ideas off and allows them to question others to ensure their understanding of the concept is correct. Having your ideas challenged helps encourage critical thinking, rather than just reading theory from a laptop and watching a webinar from a screen.
Teaches accountability and responsibility
With face-to-face training, you don’t have the option to put off your learning. You have a set time to be at class and it’s your responsibility to manage your time correctly to be at that class. Having to physically go into class holds you accountable and teaches students about responsibility. These skills will be essential when entering the workplace. There is no right or wrong way to learn. As long as we are always learning and developing the skills essential to performing our duties correctly. Working and studying from home has helped thousands of people to access resources that they couldn’t before especially individuals living in remote areas.
If you are lucky enough to have the choice of whether you study online or in class, we hope this helps you decide which option will be best for you.
